<h1>Saving and reusing prompt answers</h1>
<p class="whs1">As you answer 
 the prompts in a report or document, you can choose to save the answers, 
 so those answers are automatically used the next time the same report 
 or document is run. When the report or document is re-executed, the answers 
 you saved are already selected for you in the prompts. This is convenient 
 because you do not have to specify the same answers every time a report 
 or document is re-executed. When you save a prompt answer, you can also 
 specify that you are not prompted for that prompt answer the next time 
 the report or document is executed.</p>
<p class="whs1">Personal 
 answers are saved in the <span class=Code>My Personal Objects\My 
 Answers\Prompt Answers</span> folder. You can delete 
 and rename personal answers in this folder, or when answering a prompt. 
 You cannot edit personal answers.</p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<p class="whs1">To be able 
 to save and reuse prompt answers, the report designer must enable this 
 feature for the report. For information about enabling this feature, see 
 
<a href="Allowing_personal_answers_for_prompts.htm">Allowing personal 
 answers for prompts</a>.</p>
